Book Reviews of Connecting Hearts
Book Review: Bitter... Sweet
Summary: 4 Stars
Brown and Walker have delivered a tale that is both depressing and uplifting. Not really sure what I was getting, I started reading 'Connecting Hearts' early last night. I kept reading until I finished the last page in the wee hours this morning. I've spent much of the day feeling aftershocks from the emotional roller coaster that is this book.
Denise Jennings is a reclusive woman who has published three very popular books of poetry. At the age of 10, her parents were killed in a house fire. She has lived with her Aunt Sara ever since. Sara is her only family. Sara has just been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) and only has months to live.
Looking for information on the disease, Denise runs across a website for Brightwood Pharmaceuticals and chats with Nurse Miranda Martin (Randa). Feeling the pain of her patient, Randa shares her home e-mail address with Denise in hopes she can ease the other woman's pain.
The two women begin an e-mail correspondence and become very good on-line friends. As Sara's health begins to take a turn for the worse, American Randa surprises Denise and shows up on her doorstep in the UK. While taking on nursing duties and supporting Denise, Randa develops a close relationship with Sara as well. In the meantime, Denise and Randa take their own relationship to the next level... with Sara's enthusiastic blessing.
This is a powerful tale and is not recommended for someone who has recently lost a loved one from an incurable disease. I watched my own mother waste away from terminal cancer 15 years ago and this book brought back many still raw memories.
That said, I can't think of any reason NOT to read this book at some point. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will leave you speechless. This one's a keeper and I'm more than ready to tackle the sequel 'Family Connections.'
Do yourself a favor. Get this book and read it today... Just make sure to have a box of tissues handy.
